Summary
Focus : To create and present quality dishes from pastry to elite nutritional dishes for the masses, all while learning new methods to add to my arsenal. Simply put, the best creations of the culinary world come from the pressure situations of uncomfortability in the kitchen that evolves into a dish rewarded with a silent smile or head nod as a thank you. Quality for the guest will always be first, while showcasing the skills of the Process, also if everything goes bad everyone Loves Ice Cream.
